Dominican Volunteers USA: ‘Life as a Dominican Volunteer in Redwood City, California’

Our latest blog post comes from DV Elizabeth Broussard. Elizabeth serves the St. Francis Center, a center for low-income families in Redwood City California, and offers us a glimpse into her experience, both inside and outside her ministry. Thank you for your service and perspective Elizabeth!
